Superb apartment with a great view

The apartment is ideally situated above the city, the view from the balcony affords an outstanding panorama of the natural amphitheatre of the bay of Funchal

The apartment is tastefully decorated to a very high standard throughout and was spotlessly clean when upon arrival. A good selection of electrical appliances was available in the spacious kitchen, there’s a gas hob with electric oven and a microwave and oven combo also.

Visit the Mercado dos Lavradores to see what’s available in fresh produce and then stock up the kitchen. If you like seafood you’re in for a treat, be sure to try the amazing Black Scabbard (Espada Preta) fish. There’s a bakery about three hundred metres away (opposite the Centro Civico), which opens on Sundays also.

A choice of satellite TV channels is provided in several languages (only BBC World in English), ARD, TV5 Monde and RAI Uno, as well as the Portuguese channels. A good quality surround sound AV system is hooked up to the TV and you can play CDs and DVDs through it.

I often find it very difficult to get a good night’s sleep when away from home, this was certainly not the case here, it was a joy to be able to fall asleep on a comfortable bed and not worry about waking up in the middle of the night with back pain brought on by a substandard mattress.

If you like swimming I would recommend Canico just a few kilometres drive away, the water was 19 degrees in March and crystal clear.

Car hire is a great option, but be aware that Satnav road mapping is not available for Madeira at present. Navigating the island however is simple and the main roads are very well signposted. It takes only a couple of minutes to get to the apartment after leaving the quiet motorway that links the city to the airport. It’s not easy to get a good map of Funchal but it’s hard to get lost. Be prepared for the steep inclines on the island, I was amazed how many times I had to drop down to first gear.

If you’re not driving getting into town is simple as there’s a bus stop only a hundred metres from the apartment, alternatively taxis are abundant all the time.

This is one of the best apartments I have ever stayed in, the location was perfect – great view, easy access to town and country. Comfortable, stylish modern and clean, the pictures on the website are very accurate. Top class all around.

Madeira is incredibly beautiful and the people are genuinely friendly I look forward to going again.

Fantastic

Madeira island is beautiful! The apartment is fantastic, nicely decorated and with a breathtaking view over Funchal bay. It´s the best place to see the fireworks on New Year's Eve for sure! ;) The person who received us was very helpful and gave us good tips of things to do and places to visit. We will surely return!

Wonderful place to stay! Couldn't be any better!

We stayed for a week and loved every minute! The apartment was very easy to find from the airport and only 20 minutes away. When we arrived Carlos was there to meet us and was really thorough, kind and helpful. The apartment 's position is perfect, overlooking the town and with fantastic sea views from the large balcony.; I spent many an hour watching the cruise ships come and go!

There is a parking spot right outside the apartment, which is great, and the neighbourhood is very quiet. Inside it is extremely spacious and well equipped, everything you could need for an enjoyable holiday. The lounge area overlooks the sea and has two, large and comfortable sofas; there is also a dining table and a cupboard full of useful stuff! We both rely on wifi and the provision was excellent; we had a fast connection and were able to do everything we needed to do.

The beds are very comfy and there is plenty of spare linen etc; the bathroom is also large and well equipped. In the kitchen there is a washing machine and dishwasher, also everything else you could expect in a kitchen!

The local bus service runs right at the end of the avenue and is very regular; take some Valium though, as it's a steep ride down into the town!

I would really recommend this place and shall definitely return! Five star! 😀😀😀

Beautiful location, clean, tidy

A great location for a week's break in Madeira. Town centre is walkable on the way there and you can get the bus back (it stops outside the flat). You wouldn't want to walk! Parking is tight - get the smallest car you can - we had a Renault Clio and it only just fit. Carlos (the guy who looks after the property) is a delight. Really friendly, excellent English, lots of good recommendations.

From the Owner

“I knew this apartment was 'THE ONE', since the moment I got inside and watched its' magical view.
The quiet surrounded area and easy access were also a plus.
After visiting this apartment, I've lost any interest I had in any other I had visited before.
It was love at first sight.”

Situated in a bay bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, on the south coast of the island of Madeira, Funchal is the capital of Madeira.

This town that dates back some 500 years, since 21st August 1508, owes its name to a sweet-smelling wild herb, the “Foeniculum Vulgare” traditionally known as fennel [funcho], which existed in abundance at the time of its settlement.

Funchal is the largest tourist, cultural and commercial center of the archipelago of Madeira. This city offers a wide range of leisure activities, from visits to museums, monuments and other landmarks, to walks in its beautiful gardens, walks along the Marina of Funchal full of boats, shopping and going out at night to bars and nightclubs.

In the form of an amphitheater, the Municipality of Funchal stretches along a hillside that goes from sea level to the Pico de Areeiro, at 1.818m altitude.

GOLF INFORMATION:

PALHEIRO GOLF

This 18 hole, 6000 metre plus course was designed in 1993 by Cabel Robinson, and is skillfully set within the gracious parkland of the Quinta de Palheiro Ferreiro. Remarkable for tight fairways, fast greens, and judicious use of the beautiful trees that once covered the hillside, the course is a worthy challenge for all handicap levels.

Palheiro Golf is situated some 10 km east of Funchal with magnificent views overlooking the town and bay.

SANTO DA SERRA GOLF

Its original course, built in 1937, was redesigned in 1991 by the famous golf architect Robert Trent Jones who created a completely new and spectacular 27 hole golf course in one of the most beautiful landscapes that nature may offer.
